l'u alt Ill/MUM it 77mg concern:

Be it known that we, GABRIAL Bo'onan and ALEXANDER Torn, citizens of the United States, and residing at Perth Amboy, in the count of Middlesex and State of New Jersey, have invented a certain new and useful Composition of Matter for Use as Paving hiltltillitl, of which the following is a specification, surh as will enable those skilled in the l art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

()ur composition consists of the following i ingredients eombined in the proportions and in the manner speeilied: bitumen, asphalt, or pitch, two parts; sand, eight parts; 'linelyground earthy material, four parts,- lime, five parts. In preparing this composition for use as paving material the bitumen, asphalt, or piteh is heated and dissolved in a suitable rereptaele inthe usual manner. and when in this rondition the other materials are thoroughly mingled therewith, and when this is done the composition or substance is in condition for use and may be carted or hauled in any way to the point where it is to be applied for paving purposes, and in praetire the said composition or paving material is prelerably placed on a eonrrete foundation, on which it is spread and rolled or rompressed in the manner of making ordinary asphalt pavement, and in praetiee the surface of the pavement may be covered with sharp or course sand to prevent the pavement from being too slippery. i

The earthy material referred to is prei'erablyclayground line, and in mingling theelay l so ground and the sand and lime, as hereinbel'ore described, the said clay, sand, and lime should be first thoroughly mixed or mingled and the product thus formed thoroughly mixed or mingled with the bitumen, asphalt, or pitch in a liquid condition.

This material may be employed in making ordinary street pavements and also sidewalks, and the pavement made of this material will be much more durable and perma- I nent and much less liable to need repair than ordinary asphalt or similar pavements and will not be alleeted by heat or made soft by the suns rays and is also waterprool. Pave- Inent made by means of this material also presents a better appearauee'than ordinary asphalt pavement, ill not seam, break, or

rraek, and presents a smooth board-like surface and is also eomparaliveh' noiseless.
